Wash fish and pat dry. Dust the fish in flour. Heat olive oil at medium,
keeping it just below smoking level. Cook one side, 3-4 minutes. Turn,
placing using a brush to "paint" the fish with the minced garlic. Cook
other side 3-4 minutes. Quickly turn one more time to heat surface side
again.

OK, I prepare just 1/2 pound - perfect for the two of us. We are heavy,
heavy garlic. To give you an idea, I use 4 nice sized cloves for 1/2 pound
of fish. When I turn the fish the last time, some stays on the fish and
some goes into the pan.

I cook fish longer rather than shorter. That is our preference. Use your
judgement on time.
